In vivo acquisition of ceftriaxone resistance in Salmonella enterica serotype anatum.

چکیده
The emergence of resistance to antimicrobial agents within the salmonellas is a worldwide and severe problem. A case of treatment failure due to the emergence of resistance to ceftriaxone in Salmonella enterica serotype Anatum was studied. S. enterica serotype Anatum and Escherichia coli, both of which are susceptible to ceftriaxone, were initially isolated from a diabetic patient hospitalized for the treatment of wound and urinary tract infections. Resistant S. enterica serotype Anatum and E. coli strains were isolated concomitantly 2 weeks after the initiation of ceftriaxone therapy. The patient eventually died of a sepsis caused by the ceftriaxone-resistant salmonella. PCR, nucleotide sequence analysis, and DNA-DNA hybridization identified a bla(CTX-M-3) gene located on a 95.1-kb plasmid from the ceftriaxone-resistant isolates of S. enterica serotype Anatum and E. coli. The plasmid was proved to be conjugative. Molecular fingerprinting showed that the susceptible and resistant strains were genetically indistinguishable. The emergence of resistance to ceftriaxone in S. enterica serotype Anatum was due to the in vivo acquisition of a plasmid containing the bla(CTX-M-3) gene and was the cause for treatment failure in this patient.

The complete genome sequences of two isolates of Salmonella enterica serovars Anatum and Anatum var. 15+ revealed the presence of two plasmids of 112 kb and 3 kb in size in each. The chromosome of Salmonella Anatum (4.83 Mb) was slightly smaller than that of Salmonella Anatum var. 15+ (4.88 Mb).
متن کاملA new therapeutic challenge for old pathogens: community-acquired invasive infections caused by ceftriaxone- and ciprofloxacin-resistant Salmonella enterica serotype choleraesuis.
Recently, antimicrobial resistance among nontyphoid Salmonella serotypes has been increasingly recognized. In southern Taiwan, we encountered 3 cases of invasive infections caused by Salmonella enterica serotype Choleraesuis with resistance to ciprofloxacin and ceftriaxone. Resistance to ciprofloxacin was related to nucleotide mutations in gyrA and parC, and resistance to ceftriaxone was relate...
متن کاملCorrelation between ceftriaxone resistance of Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium and expression of outer membrane proteins OmpW and Ail/OmpX-like protein, which are regulated by BaeR of a two-component system.
Mutant 7F2 of Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium has a transposon inserted in the regulator gene baeR of a two-component system and showed a more-than-fourfold reduction in resistance to ceftriaxone. Complementation analysis suggested an association among the outer membrane proteins OmpW and STM3031, ceftriaxone resistance, and baeR.
